One Good Tern Deserves Another

If you're a fan of seabirds, then you're in for a treat with the charming array of terns featured in Birdorable's latest collection. Terns are fascinating seabirds known for their graceful flight, slender bodies, and long, forked tails. They are found in a variety of habitats across the globe, from coastal beaches to inland waters. This particular design showcases nine different tern species that grace the skies of the United States and Europe, turning any birdwatcher's or Tern enthusiast's day into an exciting spotting adventure.

Nine Featured Terns

The Caspian Tern, with its impressive size and powerful build, is the largest of the tern family. Its deep, raucous calls are as distinctive as its appearance, making it a standout among its peers. Then there's the majestic Royal Tern, easily recognized by its striking black cap and robust bill, often seen diving for fish along coastal waters.

For those who prefer the allure of the open ocean, the Sooty Tern, with its sleek, dark plumage, spends most of its life flying over tropical seas, rarely touching land outside of breeding season. Contrastingly, the Black Tern, with its nifty agility, frequents freshwater marshes during its breeding season, showcasing a dramatic shift from its non-breeding pale appearance to a striking dark plumage.

The Gull-billed Tern, as its name suggests, has a uniquely shaped bill resembling that of a gull, setting it apart as it forages for a diverse diet, from insects to small fish. Meanwhile, the Whiskered Tern, primarily found in Europe and parts of Asia, sports a delightful grey and white plumage during the breeding season, complete with a distinctive black cap and, as expected, whisker-like markings.

The Common Tern, perhaps the most widespread of all, is often spotted gracefully plying the waters of lakes, rivers, and coasts, its sharp, pointed wings and buoyant flight a familiar sight. The White-winged Tern, with its stunning transformation from a non-breeding pale plumage to a breeding attire of black with white wings, adds a touch of elegance to the mix. Lastly, the Sandwich Tern, named for the town of Sandwich in Kent, England, where it was first described, is admired for its long black bill tipped with yellow, making it a favorite among bird enthusiasts.
